Where there's an Will...

With Mick off sick (though on the mend and hopefully back soon) Will Day stepped in to instruct and keep the club airborne...and a good job he did too! We didn't get the big weather that was forecast further West, but despite a lot of cloud and the sun having difficulty penetrating it was surprisingly soarable. Due greatly to Will's enthusiasm there were a number of soaring flights in both club and private gliders. I didn't arrive until after lunch but was encouraged to get the '20' out I still managed an enjoyable couple of hours despite the 15kt+ NW'ly wind at 2000ft and the NOTAM'd Mil-Ex to our immediate West which made going anywhere except downwind difficult! Others out included Ratty, Mike Crook, Geoff T, Steve F-H, Grum, Mike W. and George B'ski.
